CURRENT MISSION

see some things. do some things.

ABOUT ME

I am pretty quiet, I enjoy books and music more than t.v. (watching soccer and boxing are the exceptions. I love food and will try anything once...I am passionate about what I do, and I appreciate other people who are the same...I have always loved traveling but lately I feel like I would rather stay in one place a little more and get to know it better, get a job, find a favorite coffee shop, get to know the neighbors...

PHILOSOPHY

I mostly just try to be nice to everyone and keep my fingers crossed.
